German funding agency rules on long-running misconduct case
Germany’s main funding agency, the DFG, has imposed sanctions on Silvia Bulfone-Paus, the immunologist from the Research Centre Borstal who was at the centre of a data-manipulation scandal two years ago. An investigation committee commissioned by the centre had found that two lab members had manipulated data in four papers involving DFG-funded research on which they were first authors and lab-chief Bulfone-Paus was last author. In total 13 of her papers were retracted during 2011.
